Can sympathise with you completely as this is what I was like in October last year. It's not the most pleasant experience but I was very determined to work through it and like you phoned the numbers and chatted to various people who could defill but worked through it until Feb/March of this year - this is why I have been having just Soup. It's painful and teaches you very quickly about your band, your limitations and what you are prepared to go through. I was very close to a defill but then one day it just eased and I thought well lets wait and see. Cancelled the November appointment and then the January and then the February. I came to the conclusion little fills were better for me. I had 0.5ml last fill in March and I am going again next week (5th May) and will have 1-1.5ml if they can do it.

So glad you are ok and that there was someone able to come and defill for you. I bet it was a welcome relief.

Weather has been lovely hasn't it, I was sat in the garden today marking & doing assessments and preping school work.

So glad you are ok, take it easy for a few weeks and be gentle on yourself. Restriction I have found comes & then gently eases off. We all react so differently.

Take care

Hi slinky

I was just thinking how you were all getting on i was going to message you tonight and ask your advise.I went for a fill last friday he got 2.5mls in and that takes me up to 5.5mls but i still have no restriction and ive got the chance to go to Edinbourgh this week for another fill however after reading your post i think i might give it a miss.What do you think.Hope you are ok now and enjoy your long weekend.

dont worry jem were all different she might not have had many fills your neighbour it takes at least 2 fills before most of us start feeling any restriction,so if she got banded in jan and got a fill in feb and one in march she might only start losing weight from now onwards but it does depend on each person,i lost 14lb in the first couple of weeks,then about half stone a month,depends how much you have to lose and how strict you are xxx

Hello all

Hope everyone is well? Just checking in to update my ticker as I've now passed my 100lb loss mark.

Slinks sorry to hear about your nightmare fill, thats what I was like in November but struggled on till it eased, probably wasn't the wisest of moves but all worked out well in the end.

I have just booked in for a 2ml defill at the end of May which is a treat for my 35th Birthday as we are going to the Isle of Wight Festival and hopefully a lovely holiday somewhere very hot in early July, so I wanted to be able to fully enjoy both, and a nice meal or 2 out before I go and have a refill at the end of July. Cant wait to go buy the holiday wardrobe!

Kepp up the good work all and welcome newbies xx
